Flanger was an officer of the Tsarist Russian period. He was born in a German aristocratic family. His family belonged to the descendants of the German Teutonic Knights. He had many outstanding military generals in the family.
When Flanger's father's generation arrived, the family embarked on a career. Later, it gained favor from the Tsar and obtained the right to operate the gold mine, which also made this prominent family richer.
1902, the Russo-Russian War broke out on the 3rd. Wrangel rushed to the front line with the army, brave and resourceful on the battlefield, and made many military achievements. In World War I , as the commander of the Cossack Legion, Fogel had many confrontations with the Austro-Hungarian Empire HTML army, and made countless contributions and was promoted to major general.
As a rising star in the army, Flanger likes to wear black major general uniforms, and his identity as a baron, so many people call him "Black Baron".
However, after the February Revolution overthrew Tsarist Russia, it also ruined his bright future.
At that time, many officers in the Tsarist Russian army judged the situation and instead supported the provisional government established by the bourgeoisie , and were valued by the provisional government. Flanger could not accept this new regime, rejected the new position appointed by the provisional government, and lived a free country life in the villa of Yalta. After the outbreak of the October Revolution , the bourgeois provisional government was overthrown. The Soviet regime was established with workers and peasants as the main body. Aristocrats like Flanger naturally became rats crossing the street. He was arrested by the local Bolsheviks. However, since he could only be considered an intermediate officer, the Bolsheviks finally released him.
This incident greatly stimulated Wrangel and made him miss Tsarist Russia even more, so he had the idea of restoring Tsarist Russia. In order to find an opportunity to restore the country, he moved to Kiev, Ukraine.
At this time, Ukraine was already an occupied area of the German and Austrian imperial army.
In order to control Ukraine, the German army drove away the bourgeois regime "Central Lada" and supported the puppet government established by the pro-German Skoropatsky.
Skoropatsky was born in a hereditary aristocrat. He served as an attendant of Nicholas II in his early years. He commanded the 34th Army during the first battle of and was comrades-in-arms with Flanger. So Flanger gets an errand in this puppet government. However, he did not like this puppet government.
At this moment, an armed force attracted Flanger's attention, that is the White Guards organized by Denikin in South Russia.
Donnikin, like Wrangel, is an officer of the Tsarist Russian army. After the fall of Tsarist Russia, he turned to support the Provisional Government and gained reuse. But due to a mutiny, Denikin was imprisoned and he was not given a chance to escape until the provisional government was replaced by the Soviet regime. After fleeing to southern Russia, he pulled up a volunteer army that confronted Soviet , namely the Baiwei Army.
On the one hand, he represented the old Russian forces and the bourgeoisie, so those nobles, landlords, Tsarist Russian officers and liberal democrats who hated the Soviet regime all defected to him. On the other hand, the Allies of was also unwilling to the Soviet regime to unify Russian , so they also supported him, not only giving him funds and weapons, but also helping him train modern armed forces. Therefore, Denikin's power gradually grew.
Wrangel is full of hope for the White Guards. Another reason is that the most influential admiral in the Tsarist Russian army, Kolchak, also organized a large-scale White Guards and established the "All-Russian Provisional Government" to confront the Soviet regime.
In Flanger's view, Red Army is not as good as the Bai Guards in terms of weapons, equipment and military. The Bai Guards also took the emperor Russian officers loyal to the Tsar as the backbone. Therefore, the White Guards were the hope of restoration, so he immediately resigned and followed Denikin.
Wrangel came to join him, and Denikin was very happy and immediately appointed him as his commander.
At this time, Germany had been defeated, and the battle came to an end.
The German troops stationed in Ukraine evacuated. The puppet regime, which was originally called a traitor by the Ukrainian people, suddenly lost its power. The Central Rada united the forces of various Ukrainian parties to regain power.
However, Central Lada was really sad because the Red Army followed closely behind and launched an attack on Kiev . Denikin also believes that Ukrainian independence is a division of Russia. Therefore, he also ordered Flanger to launch a full-scale attack on Ukraine. In addition, the anarchist Makhno led the Black Army to launch rebellions in Ukraine. As a result, the Ukrainian Central Lada Army was attacked from all sides and could only flee everywhere.
Although the Red Army quickly seized Kiev and established the Ukrainian Soviet regime. However, under the command of Denikin and Flanger, the White Guards seized almost three-quarters of Ukraine's territory. At this time, Flanger had become the commander of the White Guard with power and status second only to Denikin.
But at this moment, Denikin and Flanger had a disagreement.
It turned out that Denikin issued an order to attack Moscow to Flanger, but Flanger believed that the army had been fighting for too long, and it was a very risky thing to rush to fight again. Therefore, he suggested attacking Talijin, who was guarded by Stalin. After occupying Charizin, you can join forces with the White Guards of Kolchak, not far from Charizin, and then attack Moscow together.
Flanger's suggestion was approved by other officers, but Denikin opposed his suggestion and therefore parted in an unhappy manner.
Flanger privately led a team to launch a sneak attack on Chaerjin. As a result, he drove Stalin away and successfully captured Carzin.
Flanger became famous in one battle. However, Denikin punished Flanger on the grounds of disobedience and warned him not to allow him to move closer to Kolchak's army.
At that time, Kolchak was besieged by the Red Army. Because he was isolated and helpless, he could only lead his troops to escape east.
Things have come to this point, and the contradiction between Flanger and Denikin has also gone from dark to light. Flanger's military talent was originally above Denikin, so he enjoyed a high prestige in the army. Denikin was worried that Flanger's merit was too great, so he removed Flanger's position and expelled him to Constantinople in Turkey.
Then, Denikin led the Bai Guard army to advance north, conquering cities and land, and fought until Tula.
Tula is a fortress in the central central Moscow and the location of the Red Army's arsenal. The most important thing is that Tula is only 200 kilometers away from Moscow, which means that Denikin's White Guards have basically reached the doorstep of Moscow's central home.
, Denikin, who is sure to win, is preparing to launch a general attack on Moscow. However, his transportation line was destroyed by Makhno's black army. Afterwards, Makhno also led the black army to attack him and blocked his retreat.
There was a Red Army standing one after another in front and a Black Army fighting tenaciously behind. Under the attack on both sides, the White Guards suffered heavy casualties. Seeing that he was defeated, Denikin had to retreat to Crimea with his remaining troops, and watched the Ukrainian territory he captured was taken away by the Red Army and the Black Army inch by inch.
Various sounds also appeared inside the Bai Weijun, which was severely damaged by vitality. The Cossack main legion was unwilling to follow Denikin anymore, but hoped to gain independence. Some White Guards were not interested in fighting again and turned to the Soviet regime.
The officers of the White Guard Army also began to rebel. They believed that the reason for the failure was that Denikin did not follow Flanger's advice, so they lost trust in Denikin.
In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Denikin had to invite Wrangel back and hand over the military and political power to him, and since then he withdrew from the Russian civil war.
The return of Wrangel did bring some hope to the Bai Guards. Even the farmers in Crimea believed that he could stop the Bai Guards from forcibly collecting grain and paying wages.
Flanger did implement some enlightened policies. He also actively coordinated relations with the Bolsheviks in the Ukrainian region, hoping to turn enemies into friends with the Red Army. However, at this time, the Soviet regime had already controlled most of Russia and soon launched an attack on Crimea.
Wrangel also encountered two difficult problems at the time: one was to win the support of farmers and reduce the amount of grain and salary collection, which resulted in insufficient supplies for the Baiwei Army. Second, Western countries saw that the Baiwei Army had no use value and no longer provided support. If you want weapons and ammunition, you need to exchange most of the Crimean harvest.
In this way, it was impossible for Flanger to confront the Red Army again, and the White Guards were also depressed and were about to collapse when fighting with the Red Army. In just one week, the White Guards were forced to the Bay of Feodosia on the Black Sea side of . It was only after Flanger repeatedly communicated with Western countries that Western countries sent a fleet, allowing the White Guards, who were almost beaten to no retreat, to finally escape to Türkiye under the protection of the warships.
With the retreat of the White Guards, the Russian civil war also declared the end.
Flanger is wandering around abroad. As an influential figure in Belarus , he contacted the Baiwei Army abroad and issued the slogan "Accumulate strength, wait until the time is ripe, and then return to Russia to fight." However, years have passed, the Soviet regime has become increasingly stable. Flanger seemed to have realized the reality, so he settled in Belgium and worked as a mining engineer.
However, because Wrangel still has a great influence in the world's Belarusian population, the Soviet Union has always regarded him as the most dangerous enemy.
1928, Wrangel died of tuberculosis .
Because the condition was strange and rapid, Flanger's family suspected that it was the Soviet spy who poisoned him. However, there is no evidence for this statement until now, so the cause of Flanger's death is somewhat confusing. Of course, even if he was not dead, it was impossible for him to restore Tsarist Russia. After all, although the legend about him is still circulating in Russia, his era has long become a past.
